That sounds like what neighbors normally do when someone moves in or out of a house.

Usually they laugh to themselves, though.

OK, tomb. Now, to quote Merle, you're walking on the fighting' side of me.

1. It's Gennifer Flowers, not Jennifer. And it would have to be, now wouldn't it?

2. No cracks about her professional credentials in the chanteuse department. When they met met, Gennifer was the headliner -- the headliner, I tell you -- at the cocktail lounge of a Ramada Inn in Little Rock, Arkansas.

3. Unlike You-Know-Who, Gennifer never gossiped about her Main Squeeze to a Republican with a tape recorder and had sense enough to take her clothes to the dry cleaner when, uh, well, when they needed it.

4. She Stood By Her Man in a way that that humorless pain Hillary never did. She did the hono(u)rable thing and lied to the press for years about their relationship and spilled the beans only after he denied her in public.

5. I went as Gennifer Flowers for Halloween in 1993 and actually fooled a regular member of the White House press corps.

it's amazing how much less it seems like the ed times when you don't know what the current crop of tv shows are. trust me on this, guys. cut out the tube and things seem ever so much brighter.

i made the mistake of reading an article on up coming shows on the way in to work today, and it sunk me into deep gloom.

Of course, some might suggest that it's no great compliment if 30 minutes, a 40-gallon drum of Aquanet, and a trowel are all that's needed to turn one into a reasonable facsimile of a big-haired, bleached-out, southern-fried skank mama. But in the immortal words of Prime Minister Francis Urquhart, "You might think that. I couldn't possibly comment."

I stand in awe of anybody who can sublimate their rage to such an extent. It could be worse, I suppose; he could be selling used cars in New Jersey.

Just a pedantic aside, tomb, it was the #2 subway train that Bernie went off on. And yes, surely a sign of the end if he's preaching vegetarianism to save Manhattan. But I think Bloomie's fight to rid our bars of cigarette smoke is the greatest sign I've seen. March 30 may be the day New York stands still.

Presley, a 40 gallon drum of Aquanet? Lordy, girl, it's a good thing you didn't get close to anybody smoking a cigarette. You'd have gone up like an acetylene torch. Nowadays, they'd never let you in the door with that kind of goop in your haar. They'd assume you were a terrorist (or as GW says, a "terrist"). Might as well strap dynamite to yourself.

However, that you fooled a member of the White House press corps doesn't surprise me in the least. The President has been doing that ever since he took office--shoot, even that pie-faced boobie Ari Flescher has been doing it, and I have a suspicion that you're a teensy bit smarter than either of those boys--or both of them put together, for that matter. Enjoy the compliment, by the way. It's the last one you'll ever get from me.

But all this reminds me of another sign of the End Times: Gary Hart is actually considering running for President again, assuming that nobody cares anymore that he dared the Press to catch him fooling around with Donna Rice, which they did. Given what those two were wearing on that boat, however, I don't think Donna had to worry too much about a drycleaning bill. But even though I liked his voting record when he was a Colorado senator, I work on the fool-me-once--fool- me-twice principle. Not that I'd vote for a Republican if that SOB got the nomination, mind you. I may have principles, but I don't carry them to extremes.

Along with the reappearance of Mr. Hartpence is the concomitant reascendance of Donna Rice, his former "power mower"(as I once saw a Texas court reporter spell the term), as a leading anti-smut crusader -- which gives a whole new meaning to "Monkey Business."

Oh. My. God. Not. Gary. Hart. Please.

Please.

Who could forget his "I dare you to find me out"? On the other hand, ordinary infidelity in marriage for a Presidential candidate seems to pale in comparison to the whole spinach dip spectacle we were treated to a few years back.

Love that Urquhart line, though, Presleyterian. It's frequently used in my household. Also, "no background and no bottom!" When I watch it, I have to fast forward through all the "Dadddyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!"s. I like Susannah Harker too much to see her thrown off a parapet fifty times in the course of a few hours.

Top Ten Reasons This Is The End Times:

10) Bible says so
09) Hollywood sez so (but won't admit it)
08) U.S. Govment sez so (ditto)
07) U.N. Anti-Christy Govment sez so (double ditto)
06) Ted Turner made an "end of the world tape" for CNN
05) Israel is a State
04) Helicopters look like critters out of "Book of Revelation"
03) McDonald's went from saying on their marquees " XXXX Hamburgers Sold" to "Billions of Hamburgers Sold"
02) The INTERNET

And the number one reason is...

01) My life sucks, even the End Times have to be better than this!

Well it is the end times because a 'sterile' mule has given birth to a foal and it has been confirmed by DNA tests .

According to the radio the locals say it is a sign of the end of everything.

More than fifty years ago two hybrid bears at the Washington zoo produced a cub. This is the same improbability has two mules reproducing.

The cub was on exhibit at the zoo. He was named Gene.

NPR yesterday reported on the furore in West Virginia at a network's attempt to locate a "hillbilly" family to do a reality TV show based on the old show The Beverly Hillbillies ("Come Listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed, used to work all day just to keep his fam'ly fed...") in which they wish to place a real rural mountain family in Beverly Hills.

This is the last sign.
